OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is one of the world’s best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. It stands for customer confidence and high product safety.
If a textile product carries the STANDARD 100 label, you can be certain that every component i.e. every thread, button and other accessories, has been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless for human health.
At Vision, we are committed to improving animal welfare and traceability in the feather and down supply chain.
The NOMITE mark indicates that a product is suitable for house-dust-mite-allergy sufferers: because down- and feather-filled products offer excellent thermal and climatic conditions for humans (rapid warming up when one is sleeping, rapid decrease in humidity when the bedding is aired), they provide a very poor habitat for house dust mites, which rely on high humidity to live.
